So…let me get this straight: this whole time we’ve had this government—all 236 years—the only thing keeping the President in line was optics?

Just…not wanting bad press coverage?

Norms and customs?

THIS is what our “checks and balances” are???

If I could make a suggestion: those articles should be linked and featured prominently at the top of the website. They need to lead with the reasoning and history supporting this strategy. Otherwise, it really just looks like a slapdash attempt to get donations and a mailing list.

Explain to me how this works. Striking across all industries at once seems needlessly risky for people who need to work for a living and unlikely to have the desired effect. Depending on who strikes, it wouldn’t necessarily hit any one industry hard enough to force any meaningful action.

Priorities: sorted

It’s unfair to expect one person to shoulder the responsibility of an entire voting population. We don’t need a martyr. We need mass mobilization.

Where’s the alt text? I feel like I’m being gaslit 😅

In the U.S., the Republican Party (aka Grand Old Party, or GOP) is represented by an elephant. (Democratic party = donkey)

Exactly.

I’ll admit I wanted to see a lot more overt denunciation of Kremlin talking points being parroted by POTUS from the public figures I respect and admire.

The CFPB did some good work in that vein. It’s just been shut down by DOGE. Republicans just introduced a bill to reverse the protections against excessive bank fees that were enacted during the Biden administration.

The fees are obnoxiously, unreasonably high and it’s absurd they’re still allowed to charge them. Government should be regulating the financial sector more. They think we’re too dumb to figure it out, and so far they’ve been right.

You’re not going to stick it to credit card companies by pushing the fees off on your customers is the point. Pitting small businesses against consumers won’t solve the problem. Consumers & small business owners need to push for tighter regulation of credit card companies & fees they can charge.

“I like people who weren’t captured.” Assuming Trump also likes people who weren’t injured in combat. F ‘em all, right? They should’ve died for their country, not lived to become a burden.

You’re forgetting that the U.S. can absolutely pay to protect mineral assets in Ukraine while still allowing the *people* of Ukraine to be abused and killed. This isn’t the win you think it is.

Trump trying to shake down Zelensky while Putin holds a gun to his head was not on my 2025 bingo card, but it probably should’ve been.

They’re too stupid to even know what they’re doing.
